DISCLAIMER: reloading cartridges is a dangerous endeavour.
All reloading and firing of reloaded ammunition is done at your own risk.
Do not attempt to reload until you have read and understood at least one printed reloading manual.
Always wear safety glasses when reloading.
Do not smoke while reloading.
Keep primers and powder away from heat and open flames.
Keep primers and powder where they cannot be accessed by children.
Work up your loads following the standard procedures described in printed load manuals.
To repeat, all reloading and firing of reloaded ammunition is done at your own risk, the author of the "Thing" (Powder_lever.stl, Powder_lever_original.stl and all contents of the webpage "http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1548226") assume no liability and no responsibility for death, injuries, or damage due to the use of said "Thing".
I've decided to remove the bead chain thing from my Pro1000 and add a spring-assisted mechanism to reset the powder loader. As usual, parts around here are scarce so I decided to make my own. I used a slightly shorter spring, but it should also work with the spring provided by Lee. I've left the bead chain attachment in case something goes awry, so that I may still use the press without removing the powder loader.
I've also added a copy of the original lever, if you just want a replacement.
